CINCINNATI — Wes Miller and the Bearcats are adding a new, important role to the program: General manager. Trilly Donovan of The Burner Ball Discord reported the addition of Oklahoma City Thunder amateur talent evaluation scout Corey Evans as the first GM in Cincinnati program history. ESPN's Pete Thamel confirmed the hire on Monday.
Evans has been a scout with the NBA franchise for the past 4.5 years after leaving the Rivals outlet and his basketball recruiting analyst role there. The mid-30s rising star should help Cincinnati better set up its 2025-26 roster for Big 12 play and bring more continuity to the transfer portal operations.
Evans started Roundball Rundown Report in 2012 as his own scouting service. He then moved to Rivals in 2017.
Cincinnati could have much more roster turnover this offseason than it did in 2024.
His role will cover high school, international and transfer portal scouting and recruiting. He’ll also work with coach Wes Miller on NIL, roster construction and roster retention. Prior to OKC, he spent four years at Rivals as a national recruiting analyst.
